Porting notice for OpenVMS

Introduction

RM uses the UNIX domain socket for IPC (Inter Process Communication).
While OpenVMS does not support the AF_UNIX socket, RAID Manager
uses the Open VMS mailbox driver for inter-process communication
between RAID Manager commands and the HORCM daemon.

Requirements and restrictions

Version of OpenVMS

RM uses CRTL, and needs the following version to support the ROOT
directory for POSIX:

• OpenVMS Version 7.3-1 or later

• The CRTL version must be installed before running RM.

SYS$POSIX_ROOT

You need to define the POSIX_ROOT before running RAID Manager

Example:

$ DEFINE/TRANSLATION=(CONCEALED,TERMINAL)
SYS$POSIX_ROOT "Device:[directory]"

Mailbox driver

You need to redefine LNM$TEMPORARY_MAILBOX in the
LNM$PROCESS_DIRECTORY

table as shown below.

Example

$ DEFINE/TABLE=LNM$PROCESS_DIRECTORY
LNM$TEMPORARY_MAILBOX LNM$GROUP
